Poetic literature.

It is easier to make people value those rights more, if they can be convinced to believe that they have been bestowed by this anthropomorphized supernatural being that the majority had a virtual relationship with, in common, than by the principle of reciprocity which is really the root of it.

A rallying figure, albeit imaginary.

Poetic literature.

In that brief line, you discount the very foundations of America, and Western Civilization as well... A sad state of belief, to be sure. But it is yours, and you are free to have it... with your God-given freedoms, which men have died to preserve...
